French football star Kylian Mbappé has taken legal steps to recover €55 million ($62 million) he claims is owed to him by his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

According to sources close to the striker, the sum represents unpaid wages between April and June 2024, following his agreement to join Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Mbappé’s lawyers have reportedly been instructed to pursue the matter, insisting that PSG withheld the payments in response to his decision to leave the club after seven years.

Paris Saint-Germain, however, has denied the allegations, maintaining that all financial obligations were met in accordance with the player’s contract.

The dispute adds a new chapter to the already dramatic departure of one of football’s most marketable talents from the Parc des Princes.

According to reports from L’Équipé, Paris Saint-Germain failed to pay Kylian Mbappé’s salary in April and his bonus in February.

This shocking revelation has led to lawyers getting involved to settle the dispute. 

As one of the top players in the world, Mbappé’s contract is reportedly worth millions, and the failure to pay his salary and bonus on time has raised questions about the club’s financial management. 

The situation is still developing, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how it unfolds.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) players Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Layvin Kurzawa have been handed one-match suspensions by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) for their involvement in anti-gay chants after last month’s clash against Marseille. 

The LFP swiftly confirmed the disciplinary action, noting their commitment to combating discriminatory behaviour in football.

The derogatory chants, originating from a section of PSG supporters, led to an immediate investigation by the LFP, resulting in the sanctions against the players. 

In an official statement, the LFP condemned the players’ actions and reiterated their dedication to promoting inclusivity and respect within the sport.

Emphasising a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination, the LFP noted the importance of creating a football environment where individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, can enjoy the game without prejudice. 

The suspensions highlight the serious consequences of such behaviour in professional football, leaving PSG with a gap in their lineup for the upcoming match.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing need to eradicate discrimination in sports and ensure a welcoming atmosphere for all.

The club’s offer included a guaranteed sale clause scheduled for the summer of 2024.
 
Mbappé, who has previously declined offers, remains resolute in his decision to part ways with PSG.
 
Despite the new proposal, he has no intention of accepting any deal that would tie him down to the French club.
 
Rumours suggest that Mbappé’s heart is set on a move to Real Madrid. PSG, on the other hand, remains adamant in their belief that the star forward is determined to secure a transfer to the Spanish capital, but they are pushing for the transfer to happen in the summer of 2024 on a free deal.
